FIT. WORTH, Tex, Sept. 20.-Two
masked men with drawn revolvers
mounted the cab of a Texas and Pacific
east-bound express train tonight as it
pulled out of Benbrook, small station
twelve miles west of here. The engineer
was ordered to run the train a few miles
from Benbrook. 1t was stopped on a
high terestle, but the engineer was
made to run it again until the Express
car was off the trestle.
Here two other masked men boarded
the train. The firemen and engineer
were then placed under guard. A
dozen shots were fired at the express
car and the door was finally opened by
the Pacific Express Messenger Maloney.
One robber entered and cleared out
the safe and then went into the mail
car. Messenger Griffith offered no re-
sistance. Every registered letter in the
car was secured by the robbers. The
work was done in ten minutes. The
engineer was ordered to pull out.
The train was the through express
from San Francisco. The booty taken
is valued at $4,000. The train was
robbed ON the same trestle last June.
Guards were in the passenger coaches,
but they were over the trestle, and no
attempt was made to modest the pas
sengers. There is no trace to the rob-

An exchange says: Idleness in youth is just
like drinking liquor-it forms habit which
grows until its victim becomes entirely at its
mercy. The result of idleness finds young
men at manhood's prime with no visible
means of support, no trade or profession, and
too often with no desire for anything that at
least savors manual labor. The bread and but
ter problem stares him in the face, and he re-
sorts to any means left him to make ends
meet. Some of these men of course fall into
the regular channel of trade and become use
full citizens. Others become useless vaga-
bonds, loafing from place to place, no good
to themselves or anybody else. Others fall
to the lower walks of life and become thieves.
These are some of the results of idlenesss in
youth. We are very doubtful if any of the
lower walks of life would find any followers
if children were engaged in healthy, pro6ta-
BILE employment irksome hard labor, but
as it were, preparatory school for the real
existence of manhood and womanhood which
is sure to come in time. Parents who have
nothing for their children to do but to loaf
on the streets and hear and use profane and
vulgar language and participate in questiona-
BILE sports from one weeks end to another,
are sure to reap bitter harvest.

Wages in Germany.

Some friend has sent us copy of the
1slladega (Ala.) Mountain Home, con-
taiping letter from Mr.. ]. F. Hanson,
replying to a paragraph from the
Record, in which the increase of wages
in Germany in the years since that
country adopted a protective policy
was accounted for as resulting neces-
sarily from an increase in the cost OF
living. Unless protection should in
crease the cost of manufactured COM
modities it would fail to protect; and II
the price of commodities should be in
creased without a proportionate in-
crease of wages the laborer would suffeT
without compensation.
Mr.. Hanson answers the Record by
quoting Mr.. Robert p. Porter as to
wages paid in Germany and England,
Tpd by guaranteeing his authority ''as
aSstatistician a and gentleman of the
hishest character" Mr.. Porter is O
Juggler with figures whose authority
does not extend an inch beyond the
line where it lacks the vouch of cor
roborative proof. 1t should be within
Mr.. Hanson's knowledge that during
Ar. Porter's connection with the Tariff
OOuuluISolOu HIS ulISlldUlllIy was
thoroughly established.
There is one feature of the progress
of the new Germany to which, strange
ly enough, protectionist writers never
allude, yet which more than any other
may account for the advancing pros
perity of the Empire. With the cof-
solidation of its several parts internal
free trade has been established. The
custom houses which used to exist on
the frontier OF every petty State have
been pulled down. The change in the
commercial relations of Germany with
foreign nations, growing out of hostile
tariff rates, has had but slight influence
upon. the industrial growth of the
county as compared with the bene-
fetal feffect of unrestricted internal
trade
The German tariffs have been rather
the result of necessity than of choice.
Such system of taxation is the easiest
method ever devised to screw money
out of the pockets of the people with
out remonstrance. A tariffsucks away
the vigor of industrial growth, as the
vampire takes the life blood of sleep.

November If the Date.
OTTAWA, ILL, Sept. A. There was
unusual solemnity on the countenances
of the judges when, at $50, they filed
into court. Judge McGruder in par
ticular was as white as sheet, and
trembled visibly. The court room was
crowded. AS soon as the crier formally
opened the court, Chief Justice Sheldon
opened his docket in a low tone, and
announced the advisement of case So.
Instantly there was buzz followed by
a death-like silence. Justice McGruder,
still keeping his seat, said but few
words. They were in this form:
"The decision of the court below is
affirmed as to all the defendants" I"
Then there was another buzz, followed
by the rush of correspondents to the
door. When silence was restored,
Justice Mulkey made few remarks
saying, while not wanting to 60 on
record as agreeing with all the court
had said in the record, he thought it
remarkable in so large a document,
there were SD few errors, and what
errors there were did not affect the case
in any vital points. Chief Justice
Sheldon then announced the day of the
execution, and the bulky opinion was
handed down to the clerk.
The condemned anarchists did not
depend upon what they term the
capitalistic press for authentic news OF
their fate. Within a few moments
after the decision was announced, Carl
Azwansig, editor of the German Her.

the "Reds," appeared in the telegraph

friends and dictated dispatch inform

for them. It was addressed to August

The day of execution is set for Nov

ED. NoRrHwEsr:-The many fairs are 60
ing on about US with favorable weather and
successful exhibitions, but none have brighter
prospects than the present outlook for the
Henry County Agriculture Society, which
will hold its annual Fair on Oct. 4, s, 6, and
at the grounds of the society five miles east
of Napoleon.
Our Fair now is IA county property, and re-
ceives from the State Board of Agriculture
the sum of $4OO. With this amount to swell
the receipts of the Fair there will be no delay
in the payment of all premiums, promptly.
The grounds will be fitted up, buildings re-
paired, others enlarged and reftted, as may
be required.
The Fair has every promise to be success
this year. 1t has become emphatically pub
lie, the peoples property and affair. And
new strength and friends have come to en-
courage and give confidence to the officers,
and those interested in its welfare.
All that will be necessary for it's absolute
success is the propitious weather, which per-
haps Providence will grant us this year. since
in the past it was the only obstacle in the
way of financial success.
The exhibits of stock, fruit, vegetables,
grain, etc., will no doubt be greater and
more complete than in any past year, from
all we can Judge at present.
Let us all do our part in the matter, and
derive the benefit from the meeting this year,
as is designed in its object. Let US learn
Of each other, and aim to be better produc-
ers in every branch of agriculture.
My hearty wish is for the prosperity of the
fair, and that the officers to that intent may
be led in its very management.

A CELESTIAL WONDER.
An Immense Meteor Strikes the
Earth.

AUGUSTA, Me-, Sept. IA meteoric
mass, which might we'll be called
young planet, fell over the section of
the New Brunswick r. at McAdam
Junction, in New Brunswick, six miles
below Vanceboro, on the state line,
Thursday evening at o'clock. 1t is
described as being as large as pas
senger car and weighing many TONS
1t fell with terrific force, plunging into
the earth a distance of ten feet, the
shock being SO severe that crockery
ratified in houses near by. 1t was so
hot to-day that the country people who
fiocked around to see the celestial visi-
tor could not approach within many
feet Of it. The light of this new access
sion to the earth's crust was intensely
brilliant and was visible for a radius of
hundreds of miles. In this city it was
seen by many for second and lighted
up the city as if by flash of lightning.
Indeed, many people thought it was
lightning. This is by far the largest
meteoric body ever known to fall upon
the earth. t1
